Wright , Its like you just play this game to justify your bitching. Ardyn destroy give a fuck about the empire. This should be clear as he single handedly brings it down. So why would destroying a empiree weapon be strange. Why would helping Prompto be strange when helps the party multiple times in the main game? Its like your not allowing yourself to absorb the game. I haven't even played FF15 since summer or the DLC yet and I can easily make sense out of this. The only thing Ardyn cares about is eliminating the Lucis bloodline and the Crystal and if helping the party or destroying property of the ones he aligned with helps to achieve that goal thats fine with him. Ardyn is like the Joker he loves tormenting/toying/fucking with people
